This may have been answered in the past, but I didn't need it then. I am on a salt restricted diet. I need a dry onion soup recipe that I can make without putting in the salt. Hope you can help me out. TY
Onion Soup Mix
Some of my recipes call for onion soup mix. I've used Goodman's Low Sodium Onion Soup Mix, which I find in the kosher foods section of my local Safeway. However the last time I looked for it there wasn't any there. I'm not sure if they are no longer stocking it or they were just out. You can easily make your own mix anyway. And it's even lower than the Goodman's in sodium. You can use this the same as you would a one serving envelope of one of the commercial brands (some brands make multiple servings per envelope).
1 T Minced Onion
1 t Sodium Free Beef Bouillon
1/2 t Onion Powder
1/8 t Black Pepper
1/8 t Paprika
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight jar or bag.
Yield: 1 Servings

You can store this on the counter and use in recipes that require onion soup packages."
1 cup beef bouillon granules
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup dry onion, minced
¼ cup onion powder
¼ cup parsley flakes
1/8 cup onion salt
Directions
Add all ingredients to jar with tight lid and shake well.
To use add 1/4 cup mix to 4 cups water.
Can also add to recipes in place of onion soup packet, 1/4 cup = 1 envelope.
Enjoy.
Marcia,
The second post recipe which makes a lot the last ingredient (onion salt) the amount is unclear. Could you clarify this for us? Also, I had no luck getting the recipe from family oven.
Here's a really easy copycat recipe that has been given a five star rating:
Lipton Dry Onion Soup Mix
1/4 cup dried minced onion
2 tbsp instant low or no sodium beef bouillon powder
Combine all together. This makes the equivalent of 1 package soup mix.

I found a lot of the soup mixes. And if you put in "salt free mixes" you will get more than you will ever need. These range from herb mixes, chili and taco seasonings, to making your own Mrs. Dash.
These recipes rock!
There are so many recipes with onion soup mix in them but I am allergic to MSG, which it contains. Does anyone know of an alternative to onion soup mix? Thanks.
3/4 cup dried minced onion
1/3 cup beef bouillon granules
1/4 cup onion powder
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
That makes four batches, courtesy Quick Cooking magazine. Of course you have to find a bouillon that doesn't have MSG, but they're out there.
Thank you Karen. I had found one bouillon granular but now it seems to have disappered from my stores shelf. I know they do exist so I'll keep trying.
